I’ve never watched The Unit (it’s on CBS after all), but I’ve always heard great things. But I’ve been hearing that this season doesn’t look too promising. From a longtime reader:

The other night on the premiere of “The Unit”, CBS’ military show- like 24 but with more realistic missions (always black-ops stuff, you get caught or left behind- we don’t know you stuff) and more than one mission per season, anyway, the show has had for the first two seasons a fairly conservative pov, but that appears to be changing, the season finale and season opener are all about the government suddenly turning on the Unit to cover something up – the Units commanding officer is under congressional investigation which could end his career and his soldiers lives, during an argument with his now-estranged wife who just got a plum London assignment out of nowhere , she states that “America is controlled by 6 families and always has been, sometimes they inter-marry and sometimes they hire out to especially gifted people and on rare occasion allow in someone who shows exceptional potential“- his wife was offering that invite to her husband (the commanding officer)….you don’t need to know the history of the show but this kind of liberal conspiracy stuff is new – so sad this really great show in one stupid line jumped the shark.
